During math class this year, we used a program called Connected Mathematics 2. This program was very different than any other math unit I have ever used. My favorite unit was Prime Time. Here is a picture of what Prime Time looks like.
Primetime
The Connected Mathematics 2 unit was very different from any other unit I have ever used in math before. It was very different there are eight different units that covered many different things, but we did not get to cover all the units in the small amount of time we had. The units we have went over were Prime Times, Bits and Pieces 1, Bits and Pieces 2, Shapes and Designs, Covering and Surrounding, and How Likely Is It. Out of all of these units, Prime Time was my favorite. I liked this unit the most because I found the unit not too easy, but not very complicated. I found this unit a little bit easy because I already learned about factors and multiples in fourth and fifth grade.I also liked it the most because learning more about factors and multiples made me want to learn even more about these two things!
I learned so many different things in the Prime Time unit. For example, I learned a lot of vocabulary and more facts about factors and multiples. While I was writing my vocabulary in my notebook, I learned that a factor is one, two, or more whole numbers that are multiplied to get a product. I also learned that a multiple is the product of a given whole number and another whole number. We learned all of the vocabulary including abundant number, common factor, common multiple, composite number, conjecture, deficient number, dimensions, divisor, even number, exponent, factor, factor pair, factorization, Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, greatest common factor, least common multiple, multiple, near-perfect number, odd number, perfect number, prime factorization, prime number, proper factors, relatively prime number, square number, and Venn diagram. There were five investigations in Prime Time. They were named Factors and Products, Whole-Number Patterns and Relationships, Common Multiples and Common Factors, Factorizations: Searching for factor Strings, and Putting It All Together. We also would do one investigation each day during class. In the book, Prime Time, there were five investigations. Each investigation would be called something different. Here are the names of each investigation we covered throughout Prime Time. Investigation one was called Factors and Products, investigation two was called Whole-Number Patterns and Relationships, investigation three was called Common Multiples and Common Factors, investigation four was called Factorizations: Searching for Factor Strings, and investigation five was called Putting It All Together.
I can connect the concepts I learned during Prime Time to my life because math is everywhere. For example, I can use the information from Prime Time when I am in a store buying something. I can also use it during math class, at a restaurant, and many more places. If you keep your mind open, math can enter anyhow, anywhere. To sum it all up, Connected Mathematics 2 is a harder, but more educational than any other math program. I think that Connected Mathematics is harder, but more educational than any other math program because it teaches you things that you do not really understand. When you start to get the hang of the math program, you understand everything that you did not understand before!
This the the best Math Reflection that I finished throughout the year in Math.
